What's on your menu today (PHOTO FRIDAY) RNYers?

Hey everyone!

QOTD: I think I'm an acquired taste for pesky bugs. Sometimes they come at me, sometimes I think they decide I'm not so tasty!

I'm really trying to get serious about losing more weight and getting down to an ultimate goal of 170. After Paris, and four more straight weeks of travel (with copious amounts of eating on vacation last week), I hit a high of 203 lbs. Usually, I feel comfortable bouncing between 190-195. This was NO BUENO! Time to kick it up a notch.

I have been working on a 2 lbs/per week calorie budget since Monday. Lawd, is it difficult to net 1500 calories/day at this point. I miss the days of eating 700 calories per day and not thinking much of it!

Breakfast - two scrambled eggs with turkey sausage crumbles and cheddar cheese.

Lunch - Turkey Chili (homemade, the only thing I eat haha)

Dinner - Turkey Chili

Snacks - Couple of Dove dark chocolate squares (5 is the limit I think) and greek yogurt. MAYBE with enough exercise, I will through in some hummus/pretzels at the end of the day.

A picture of my adorable babies. They are so in love with each other....

Oh, what a sweet picture!

You should do AMAW with us next week! Best way to drop the pounds quickly, I think.

BTW, would you believe I actually lost 2lbs in Paris? I have no idea how, but they have stayed off, even as I have come back and continued to eat like crap. I know it won't last, though, so I am excited to jump into AMAW before I really go off the rails!

I'm a dummy - what is AMAW?

All Meat All Week or the "5 Day Meat Test".

Daisy (our wonderful Meat Coordinator-MC) hosts a challenge periodically to get people to cut the carbs for a week. Scroll through the RNY posts and see if you can find her post about it that has the "rules" etc. It's more fun than it sounds, LOL.

All Meat All Week, or it's less restrictive cousin Cheese and Meat All Week (or Critter and Meat All Week)

AMAW is exactly what it sounds like. All you eat is dense protein all week. CAMAW adds in dairy, so you can have cheese, yogurt, protein shakes, etc. It decarbs you fast and you can drop weight pretty easily.

Thanks for the reminder! I'm putting it on the calendar. I really need it after two weeks of eating with the relatives.

Good morning DD2 and crew!

QOTD: yes mosquitos love me. Hate them back with a passion.

Drive by today, we are crazy busy...

B: Premier Protein chocolate with coffee

L: Dannon greek yoguet, salami and cheese

D: Spaghetti squash, some kind of chicken

S: Syntrax Fuzzy Navel in water

Pic is one of our new tents. One more week before our soft open. OMG.

Have a great Friday!

At one time my ex and I - we had 7 personal tents (just for us). From a very very basic 1-2 people - up to what we called "mansion" for car camping. But I never seen a tent like that one. I would not mind using it. I am no longer into "basic camping". Glam-ping- sure.. why not..

WOW! Looks gorgeous and like camping elegance!... WOW... you're going to do great! Great style!!! Best wishes on your endeavor...
